  • Controlled conditions in the atmosphere of the production plant are indispensable, especially in production facilities where the highest quality electronic, pharmaceutical or biochemical products are manufactured.
  • there are different requirements for the cleanliness of the production environment which must be guaranteed by the clean room technology.
  • efforts have been made in recent years to limit the areas in which such high demands are placed on the contamination-free nature of the production process as much as possible, i.e.
  • a known transport box has a base plate which is usually equipped with a carrier which is used to hold the object to be transported This ensures that the object to be treated is provided in a defined position on the respective work station and can be handled for automatic gripping.
  • a rigid hood can be placed on the base plate, which was made by injection molding from a usually transparent plastic, and the object So that this enclosure is as hermetic as possible to the outside, a sealing seat is provided to seal the transport space enclosed by the attached hood and the base plate.
  • the hood is secured by a locking system em tightly locked to the base plate, the locking system being actuated from the outside, so that the hood can be easily opened mechanically in the next work station
  • the enclosed transport space can only be kept contamination-free as far as the container walls enclosing the transport space allow. This means in particular that disruptive outgassing of the plastics forming the container walls must be added keep objects to be transported so that inadmissible contamination can occur during transport despite the effort involved
  • the starting point of the present invention is the consideration that the aforementioned shortcomings of the known transport box can be eliminated if Suitable precautions are taken to specifically influence the atmosphere of the transport space within the transport box.
  • the invention provides that the transport box is equipped with two check valves, one of which is designed as an inlet valve and the other as an outlet valve.
  • the valve housing of these valves form an integral part Part of the
  • Transport space of the wall enclosing the transport box are therefore inseparably connected to this wall.This is to ensure the best possible seal between the valve housing and the wall of the transport space.
  • the two valves could be integrated in the base plate.
  • the valves with the are particularly recommended for handling reasons
  • the inlet valve in the lower part of the hood and the outlet valve in the upper part of the hood being expediently attached.
  • the valve housing of the valves should in each case be encapsulated directly in this manufacturing process, so that it is connects to the hood practically in one piece.
  • the valve is preferably designed as a spring-loaded ball valve and has a plastic housing.
  • the inlet valve is provided with an external quick coupling, to which a media line can be connected to the transport space from the outside. In this way, it is possible to provide the transport space with an individually adjustable atmosphere.
  • a gas with maximum particle freedom a dry gas or, if necessary, a disinfectant can be filled in through the inlet valve
  • the outlet valve can escape to the outside, so that the inside of the transport box can be subjected to gas purging. If the purge gas is not to escape into the production environment, this can
  • the outlet valve and the inlet valve are provided with an external quick coupling in order to be able to connect a corresponding discharge line for the medium filled into the transport space.
  • the inlet valve should open in any case in the manner mentioned below and the outlet valve at the top of the hood.
  • a reverse arrangement is recommended
  • the inlet valve also has a quick coupling on the inside of the transport space.This quick coupling then serves to connect an assembly with which the atmosphere of the transport space can be influenced.
  • a filter cartridge for cleaning the filling space to be filled into the transport space via the inlet valve Medium be the
  • the filter cartridge can therefore be, for example, an activated carbon filter or a molecular sieve.
  • the internal quick coupling of the inlet valve can also be used to fasten a cartridge that contains a medium that is active with respect to the atmosphere of the transport space.
  • the invention provides that additional receiving devices (eg molded on) on the inside of the hood and / or the base plate e insertion or insertion pockets) are provided for fastening containers, which are filled with corresponding active materials for influencing the atmosphere of the transport space.

Furthermore, data carriers can be attached to the hood, on which the contents of the transport box to be transported are recorded in a machine-readable manner.

  • a rigid hood 2 made of transparent plastic is placed on a base plate 1.
  • These two main components of the transport box are injection molded plastic parts.
  • the base plate is provided with a carrier 3, which serves to hold the objects to be transported within the transport space 5 enclosed by the base plate 1 and the hood 2.
  • a sealing seat 4 is provided between the hood 2 and the base plate 1.
  • the sealing seat 4 is preferably not produced by a separate seal, but rather is ensured by sealing surfaces on the base plate 1 and the hood 2 which are machined with a precise fit.
  • a ball check valve 6 is arranged in the lower part, which has a plastic valve housing and was injection molded directly with the transparent plastic of the hood 2 during the injection molding of the hood 2, so that both parts are practically integrally connected to one another. This ensures an optimal seal in the connection area.
  • the inlet valve 6 has a quick coupling 8 which is used to connect a media supply line to the

  • a coupling unit 12 is attached on the outside, which serves to connect the transport box to a means of transport in a simple and reliable manner.
  • a gripper can engage this coupling unit 12.
  • a locking mechanism which, of course, must be present in order to ensure the tight fit between the hood 2 and the base plate 1 during transport.
  • Such a locking mechanism can be actuated from the outside in a manner known per se, so that the base plate 1 can be mechanically separated from the hood 2 in a work station in order to be able to access the transported object.
  • the transport box according to the invention significantly increases the safety of contamination-free transport of sensitive objects compared to the previously known solution.
  • the additional effort required to manufacture a transport box is relatively low.
  • the preferred use of ball check valves injected into the hood results in an inexpensive and, at the same time, extremely reliable solution with regard to effective sealing.
